Now, today, three years later I once again decided to measure, how prices have changed in the past three years.
Here is my basket of goods I bought in Tbilisi market on October 1, 2018
Veggies from Tbilisi market
| 2018 | 2015 | |
| 1 kg potatoes | 1 | 0.7 |
| 1 bunch of spring onions | 1 | 0.6 |
| 1 bunch of parsley | 1 | 1 |
| 1 bunch of dills | 1 | 1 |
| 1 bunch of radishes | 2 | 1* |
| 1 kg red pepper | 2.5 | 5* |
| 1 kg onions | 2 | 1.3 |
| 1 kg washed carrots | 2 | 2 |
| 1 watermelon (~6kg) | 2,2 | 5 |
| Churchkhela | 1.5-2 | - |
| Walnuts 1kg | 22 | - |
*Prices are from 2016
As you can see there has been some inflation over the years, but also there is some deflation for products like red pepper and watermelon.
This is a historical snapshot of Tbilisi market prices from October 2018. I am keeping the original figures because they record everyday costs in Georgia at the time.
